Support of Christianity
In their eyes there is purpose, so their words might hold merit.Shortly before Sassanids took over Armenia in AD 252, they employed a nobleman named Anak to assassinate the Armenian king, Hosrov II. In the ensuing chaos, Anak’s son, Gregory, was spirited away to escape death and entrusted to a Christian priest named Phirmilianos in Cappadocia. Under his guidance, Gregory embraced Christianity. After reaching manhood, he returned to Armenia to bring the Christian faith to his people and in this way atone for the misdeeds of his father. According to tradition, the Armenian king at the time, Tiridates III, held Gregory in prison for over twelve years until God punished him with terrible madness. In an act of mercy, with the power of true faith and prayer, Gregory cured the king. As a result, Tiridates changed his attitude, and a few short years Armenia became the first officially Christian state in the world.
